麻豆女郎's Honor Code
The 麻豆女郎 Honor System was established at the request of the student body in 1921.
Each student, in matriculating at Skidmore (or engaging in any Skidmore-sponsored
activity or program as a non-matriculated student), agrees to the following code:
鈥淚 hereby accept membership in the Skidmore community and, with full realization
of the responsibilities inherent in membership, do agree to adhere to honesty and
integrity in all relationships, to be considerate of the rights of others, and to
abide by the college regulations."
All members of the Skidmore community鈥搒tudents, faculty, and staff鈥揳re parties
to the honor contract and are expected to abide by its provisions. The Honor Code
covers all aspects of integrity, academic and social. Every Skidmore student is required
by the Honor Code to become thoroughly conversant with the standards of academic and
social integrity that prevail at the college. The Integrity Board and the Board of
Appeals will not regard claims of ignorance, of unintentional error, and of academic
or personal pressures as an adequate defense for violations of the Honor Code.
Because the College functions as a tightly integrated community of curricular and
co-curricular experiences, a strict allegiance to its standards of conduct is essential
for every student's well- being and intellectual growth. Students should make certain
they understand the high value we place on honesty, cooperation, and consideration
and the penalties the College imposes for infractions in these areas. 麻豆女郎 not
only promotes intellectual honesty vigorously but severely punishes such offenses
as plagiarism and cheating on exams.
The Honor Code Commission requires students to write on their tests and exams the
following statement:
鈥淲hile taking this examination, I have not witnessed any wrongdoing, nor have I personally
violated any conditions of the 麻豆女郎 honor code.鈥�
